The Book of Lies

Серия: "-"

But closing in on them is a man tattooed with the mark of Cain - the world's first killer. In his pocket he carries the means of causing a horrifying death. And in his heart an insatiable desire for what he believes is his birthright...

Brad Meltzer

Brad Meltzer (born April 1 1970) is an American author of several "New York Times" best-selling books including "The Tenth Justice", "Dead Even", "The First Counsel", "The Millionaires", and "The Zero Game". He released his sixth novel, "The Book of Fate", in September 2006. Meltzer is also a comic book writer, penning a six-issue story arc for DC Comics' "Green Arrow" #16 - #21 (October 2002 - April 2003), and the controversial 2004 miniseries "Identity Crisis". He took over the writing duties for a 13-issue stint on the new monthly "Justice League of America" series, which started with issue #0 on July 19, 2006. Issue #1 following a month later. After he finished with his brief run he returned to writing a novel, leaving open the possibility of returning to comics when he has time.

Meltzer grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., and then moved to South Florida, where he graduated from North Miami Beach Senior High School in 1988, after which he graduated from the University of Michigan. In 1993 Meltzer lived in Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts with roommate, fellow comic book writer/artist Judd Winick, working in sales at "Games Magazine" by day while working on his first novel by night. Afterwards Meltzer attended Columbia Law School, from which he graduated. In addition to his novels, he was the co-creator of the cancelled television series "Jack & Bobby", which ran for one season (2004-2005) on the WB television network. He married his high school sweetheart, Cori Flam, also an attorney. They recently moved back to South Florida and have one son and one daughter.

In 2008, it was announced that Meltzer is also slated to write an arc of Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight" comic book for Dark Horse Comics. Whedon would later star as himself, alongside Brian K. Vaughan and Damon Lindelof in the trailer for Meltzer's 2008 release of "The Book of Lies". Whedon, Vaughan and Lindelof - who portray themselves - act as conspiracy theorists who believe in a so-called "Book of Lies", which in Meltzer's novel connects the original murder story (Cain and Abel) to the murder of Jerry Siegel's father, shortly before the conception of the iconic Superman character.

In September 2006, Meltzer participated in a work group along with the CIA, FBI, various psychologists, and Department of Homeland Security intelligence staff to brainstorm new ways that terrorists might attack the U.S. [ [http://www.bradmeltzer.com/homeland.php Official site] ] [ [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A50534-2004Jun17.html Washington Post] ]
